17 months of data shown — Listing Comps build richer history as transactions accumulate.
Sold or Listed Prices
9 market transactions via web search — not HiFi Registry sales.
Understanding the market
Half of recorded transactions fall between $149 and $295. The full observed range is unusually wide — the highest recorded price is 11.7× the lowest. A spread that wide usually means the recorded sales are not strictly comparable: different configurations or finishes, units sold for parts or with cosmetic damage, or listings where the model name is shared across more than one variant. Treat the middle range as the useful signal and the extremes as outliers worth investigating before you price against them.
Over the last twelve months this model averaged $384 across 6 recorded sales, 154% higher than the preceding twelve months.
What buyers should know
Depreciation here is driven by HDMI and codec support, not sound quality — a unit two standards behind current loses value quickly regardless of condition. Confirm the HDMI board is functional, since it is the most common failure point.
This range reflects 9 recorded sales, compiled from publicly listed and completed sales elsewhere on the used market, not from HiFi Registry transactions. That is enough to establish a working range, but not enough to be precise — treat it as a guide rather than an appraisal.
